THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 14th, 1927 Page Five "I have valued this farm $1,000 less than I would if clean of this weed" The actual evidence of loss in value of weed-infested farm land is shown in the extract from the report of an inspector valuing a certain farm for loaning purposes. Here is the evidence: "It is badly infested with sow thistle--as are all the farms in the neighborhood. I have valued $1,000 less than I would if clean of this weed." This $1,000 represented 12% of the value of the farm. Many inspectors would discount the value to an even greater extent. What is your weed crop costing you? Fight weeds es you would fight fire. Help your neighbor--Imp yourself. Every occupant cf land and every owner of unoccupied land is required to destroy all noxious weeds before their seeds ripen. Municipal councils are required to destroy all noxious weeds growing upon the highways. The Department of Agriculture Pr^' :-^ce of Ontario [ildings, Toronto W. B.
